RDP member average age 11/19/24

[BabyRay]

Turned 65 yesterday. Used my new Medicare card today. So cool to be saving $ 1600 a month on health insurance.

Yes, it is. But, if you have a sudden influx of income, such as from selling assets, you’ll find out about the IRMMA brackets. They’ll only tag you for a year, so it’s not a disaster, but still.

Income related monthly adjustment amount (IRMAA) for 2025 Medicare Part B & Part D Premiums

IRMAA is a surcharge added to your Medicare Parts B and D premiums, based on income. Learn more about IRMAA for 2025 and how it impacts your Medicare costs.

I joined at 14, well my Dad made the account lol.

I didn’t post much, it was mainly to look at the boating content. Crazy to think how much time I’ve spent reading this site.

I do think my username is kinda lame, but no sense in changing it this late into the game lol.

Wait up...

Your dad made you this account..

And decided your name should be "attitude"?

Is he still on here? Would be fun to ask him why he picked that for you!

It was in reference to the attitude of a boat.

In reality it just sounds like I’m a guy trying to be “edgy” lol

 

[Not So Fast]

To everyone younger than me and Im 82, still kickin but I know whats ahead All I can say with confidence is enjoy every year, every day cause they zoom by so fast and are under appreciated, especially the younger crowd cause we get caught up in things and forget life is on a time table anf its zipping by.
Hvaing said that I think Ill go outside and work on my old truck lol, I still enjoy that , have a great day !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn sure is a bunch of this on RDP

 

[samsah33]

Wife keeps telling me how immature I am... I'll grow old but I won't grow up...

 

[GRADS]

You've got think a lot of us were around when the original Hotboat forum started in 2000 or so. That was 24 years ago. Even if we were in our late 20's-early 30's we're old fucks now.

And I guess I'm totally average.

 

[JUSTWANNARACE]

I graduated HS in 96. This thread fucking sucks

'97 for me.. and I agree

 

[4Waters]

I'm guessing our average age is 57-58

 

[JUSTWANNARACE]

I'm guessing our average age is 57-58

But what about mentality wise

 

[4Waters]

But what about mentality wise

You mean maturity? If so us guys are still 16, want proof.....

BOOBS

You smiled and chuckled/giggled didn't you

 

[DILLIGAF]

I'm guessing our average age is 57-58

Sandbagger...lol.

 

[DMF]

I'm gonna have to start looking elsewhere. You guys are a bunch of old fucks!

 

[Your ad here]

Funny just the other day I was thinking to myself, I wonder who is the oldest member on RDP.

@Wheeler

 

[Willie B]

@Wheeler

… i’m pretty sure he is not…

 

[Your ad here]

… i’m pretty sure he is not…

it was a joke...

 

[Willie B]

it was a joke...

…Lol… I know for sure he does have a sense of humor… And I think he’s about 10 or 12 years younger than me .,,something like that

 

[DILLIGAF]

43% are 55 or over.

Yep....

 

[Bobby V]

43% are 55 or over.

Yep....

Yea. But for some reason 9% would rather vote for RD Sux then vote for their actual age.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Yea. But for some reason 9% would rather vote for RD Sux then vote for their actual age.

We should probably but them in the 70 plus cat

 

[GRADS]

If you remember this you're probably at least 50.

 

[Tommy Gun Images]

Damn we are getting old! I started lurking in ‘07 but was on hot boat before that. Sitting in my office in Tucson with the latest Hot Boat mag on my desk I never would have guessed what my life would look like now. Definitely could have made some more money but I don’t think I could have had more fun!

 

[OLDRAAT]

Ahh, the adventures of the Pink Taco..

 

[Tommy Gun Images]

Ahh, the adventures of the Pink Taco..

She had a hell of a run!

 

[Bullet28]

Lol, the list for the Senior Discount at Denny’s just keeps getting longer and that includes me at 68.

[DiMarco 19]

Woodland High, class of '73. Glad I didn't have to hit the 70 button yet.

Class of 73 Pomona high no 70 for me till August

 

[Hardly Satisfied]

I’m 62

 

[cofooter]

I’m 62

Likewise!!!

 

[stephenkatsea]

I’m very fortunate. I’ve been able to experience many places when they were at their best, IMHO - Southern Cal in general, Downey, Carlsbad, Newport, Camarillo, High Sierra, Havasu, Parker Strip, Lake Mohave, Powell, New Orleans, FL, NYC, Baja/Cabo and so many other places all over the world. Heck, I once went dove hunting in Garden Grove, quail hunting in Thousand Oaks and dove hunting in Carlsbad pre LegoLand and fished Lake Sherwood for LMB.

Wife and I remain in relatively good health. Now comfortably retired after 40 years - US Merchant Marine Captain/Master. It’s been mostly all good . . . So Far.

I am 77. Class of 1965 - Downey HS

Class of 73 Pomona high no 70 for me till August

Class of '74 at Don Bosco Tech in Rosemead (5 years program), 70 this coming April. Keep asking myself, "Where did all those years go"?

 

[BigAl96]

Was thinking of trying to arrange a meetup amongst that millennial aged 28-45 year old group.

I'll probably fire something up in the spring.

I'd be 100% in for something like this. My wife and I are 28 and 26 and it's increasingly difficult to find people with similar mindsets to our own.

Not a lot of people under 40 can swing hobbies like this anymore financially. Especially after kids.

I figured it would get a bit better as I got older but I think a lot of people gave up on stuff like this a while ago.

Fancy mountain bike or car is about all they'll try for now.

… so did mine for a year or so… the school was John H Francis polytechnic high school in Sun Valley, California… And it’s First principal was Robert Lewis… He set up a designated smoking area out by the athletic field…???

Hell……. At my high school, once the hottest girl in my class turned 18, she started dating the football coach. Openly

Today……. He’d either be fired or be in jail. lol

We had a smoking section too!

 

[RiverDave]

My school did as well, I graduated in '95

When I was a freshmen they had a smoking area in the quad at San Marcos high. When I was a senior at Carlsbad high they didn’t have a designated smoking area.. but nobody said anything if you smoked once you were on the sidewalk on the edge of the school grounds..

I graduated in 94

Hes aging out. Give him a break. Lol

 

[RiverDave]

Been a lot of talk of rdp “aging out”. What most don’t realize is the website is only a part of “rdp”. And the logged in members are a very small % of the traffic on the website itself.

We have www.riverdavesplace.com
Rdp biz page on facebook
Rdp group page on fb
Rdp IG page
RDP YouTube channel

But most importantly we rank stupid high with google which keeps fresh eyes on the forum / website in general.

Then there is the spin off businesses..
TRDP
Luxury Center Consoles (sitting idle)
The Toy Syndicate (95% done)
Sign truck

And now Glamisdunes.com (which incidentally the front page went live today)

Some of those get fed by rdp some of them feed rdp..

But all of them have different age groups or span age groups etc..

If I was smart I’d just put one person in charge of each of them take a cut and just run rdp.. because I’m not doing a great job of being everywhere at once.. lol. But they are all doing ok.

When you get into the stats of them all though it’s pretty interesting if ya like that kinda shit..

I can tell you at shows who’s on here and who’s on IG and who’s on fb just by what they say when they come up.

I don’t think RDP is aging out. But in your opinion Dave do you see less younger guys say 30-40 who own boats compared to say 20 years ago?

… same happened with our wrestling coach, Mr. W… Started seriously dating one of the high school girls after she had been out of school for a few months…

… Got some better stories about our woodshop teacher… he is now 93 years old so I think I’d better wait before I post those stories…

Absolutely.. no different then owning houses,
Cars or anything else
